Behavior and Strength of Telescopic Steel Shores
To study the load distribution between concrete floors and shores during construction, the non-linear axial load-shortening behavior of a single post shore must be modeled properly. In...
Bibliography of Steel Columns
This book, which was prepared by the Committee on Compression Members of the Structural Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers, attempts to provide a complete bibliography...
Commentary on Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (ACI 530-88/ ASCE 5-88) and Commentary on Specifications for Masonry Structures (ACI 530.1-88/ ASCE 6-88)
Seattle Swing
The swing bridge has long been out of favor in the U.S. because of the navigational hazard presented by mid-channel pivot piers. A consortium of engineers is updating the design to a state-of-the-art...
Structures Congress Abstracts 1990
Abstract only. The following themes are included: Rehabilitation and future challenges, Bridges, Earthquake engineering, Dynamic loads on structures, Metals and composite construction,...
New Piers for an Old Bridge
Placing new piers under an old superstructure has saved the architecture of the historic Ashley River Bridge in Charleston, S.C. In July 1987, an inspection indicated deterioration and...
Dallas Urban Goods Movement Changes-The Decade After
In the 1970's, the City of Dallas undertook an urban goods movement (UGM) planning project that resulted by the end of the decade in far reaching changes in the process, particularly...
Economic Impact of Alternative Downtown UGM Strategies
In downtown Dallas, four strategies have been tested: consolidated public truck terminals; provision of off-street loading space in individual buildings, under ordinance; curb space management...
Load-Permit Truck Operations in New York State
This paper presents the results of a survey of indivisible-load permit vehicle operations in New York State. The survey was conducted in the context of an investigation into the impacts...
Superskycraper
The design for a hypothetical 142-story building advances te real-world challenge for taller and taller superskyscrapers. To be located on the riverbank in Chicago, it is 1,745 ft tall...
Analyzing in 3D
Suggestions for modeling and evaluating three-dimensional (3D) structures are presented. These suggestions are based on the authors' sixteen years of day to day involvement...
An Overview of Structural Reliability Methods
Recent developments in structural reliability theory and better availability of load and strength data suggest that reliability-based design (RBD) methods should be considered as a practical...
Transmission Line Structure Loading
This paper outlines specific procedures for determining loads on transmission line structure systems that can be used in the reliability based design or assessment of components of these...
Cambering of Steel Beams
Cold cambering with force in the fabrication shop is an effective and economical method of compensating for deflections of composite beams. Typical beams should be cambered for dead load...
Six Story Tubular Atrium
The author designed an atrium structure with two stair-stepped atriums placed at 45? to the tower 'Figueroa at Wilshire' in Los Angeles, California. This structure...
Buckling Design of Vierendeel Reticular Shells
Double layer reticular shell structures carry very little transverse shear, thus, it may be appropriate to substitute the inter-layer diagonal members with 'space'...
Behavior of Plates Under Partial Edge Loading
This paper addresses one of the common problems in designing thin-walled members, the ability of the shape to accommodate in-plane concentrated loads. Specific areas in which the problem...
Stability of Plates Under Eccentric Edge Loads
A linear finite element analysis was conducted to study the stress distribution in the web and the flange when the beam is subjected to a patch load applied in the plane of the web or...
Longitudinal Impact Loading of Transmission Towers
A scale model has been developed to study a containment failure design concept for longitudinal (along the direction of the conductor) impact loading of electrical transmission structures....
Sizing Techniques for Lateral Bracing
Techniques for determining the size of lateral bracing members in multi-story steel buildings are presented and discussed. Because the design of such bracing is usually controlled by deflection...
